Nick and Brian join Mike to talk about why we drop comic books, why we stop buying them, and how we go about drawing the line on when to stop reading something. There’s some hate involved, but it comes from a place of love… or so they think, at least.

While the gang does join Mike to talk about what comics they’re reading this week, the focus of the show is all about the last year and everything we’ve accomplished. This is basically a hang out episode with a few beers. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.

Nick and Paul sat down to record a special minisode a short while ago to talk about comics writer Jeff Parker–author of books such as Batman ’66, Aquaman, Flash Gordon, Justice League United, and many many more. The episode was originally going to cover the series “Kings Watch” but expanded to a larger discussion about Parker as a writer, how he approaches licensed comics, reinventing old characters for the modern era, and the “nuts and bolts” of Parker’s style.

While Mike (and Tia) were off at NYCC, Nick hosted the show this week with Brian and Kate. The show this week focused on retconning in comics and when it’s good or bad (specifically in Big 2 books). Despite all reasoning, they managed to put together a great episode, but near the end things go a bit off the deep end!

However, this week, the episode was focused on how both Tia and Kate got into comics and what it’s been like since they started reading.

The show this week features guests Nick and Kate to talk about politics in comic books. The topic meanders a bit, but the ultimate discussion of how politics are handled, presented, inserted, and masked in comics is discussed. This may seem heavy, but, on the whole, it’s a fun talk about how we as comic fans read into stories.

After week off due to some technical weirdness and traveling, but we are back! Our show this week is a great one. We had a new guest joining Mike and Tia: Kara Szamborski from the comiXologist podcast! The episode this week is all about your “problematic favorite characters” (aka “problematic faves”) in comic books (and other media). Kara dives real deep into the Archie Comics/Riverdale universe and fashion world, and Mike gets lost. Near the end, there’s some talk of fan fiction and “coffee shop fic” which is a whole different thing, but, as per usual, this episode is fantastic.

This week, Tia Vasiliou, Paul Jaissle, and host Mike Rapin talked their comic picks (Black Widow #1 and Mockingbird #1) and moved on to having a nice long chat about comic book storage. Actually, it was closer to Tia explaining how to store your comics for generations to come and how most modern care techniques are, unfortunately, bad.

This episode of I Read Comic Books is a special one as it marks one full year of recording our show. Host Mike Rapin is joined by long-time guests Nick White and Paul Jaissle and the show’s editor, Zander Riggs. They talk comics they’ve read recently and books they’re excited for this week (Paper Girls #5, Captain Marvel #2, and Green Arrow #49), but this week is a weird/special one. There’s no focal topic outside of chatting about the past year of the show. So, if this is your first episode… you may be a bit lost. Next week, we’ll be back to our regular show.

Then, for this week’s primary topic, Kate brought up the idea of following up on books you may have dropped and what ever happened to them. The topic diverged from there and was ultimately pretty awesome.

Hosts Mike, Nick, and James chat about their last two week’s worth of comics (and it’s a lot)… for a while. Like, a long while. But it’s all good. Their comic picks were quick (Island #4, Book of Death #4, The Spire #4). The focus for this week was all about pull list management. How do you manage your pulls? How do you start and end a subscription? What makes a book “worthy” of being read long term?]]>I Read Comic Booksyes1:19:4628Episode 41 | Nick has a problem with online saleshttp://ircbpodcast.com/i-read-comic-books-episode-41-nick-has-a-problem-with-online-sales/

Nick has a problem with buying comics on comiXology… But this week focuses on how comic books are marketed and the pessimism attached to that and the question: Can you actually judge a book by its cover?]]>I Read Comic Booksyes1:24:1229Episode 40 | Paul’s Twitterhttp://ircbpodcast.com/i-read-comic-books-episode-40-pauls-twitter/

Hosts Mike, Nick, and Paul talk their lives… and also comics to start the show, then their comic picks (Paper Girls #1, Aliens/Vampirella #2). This week’s primary topics covered Dark Knight III and why classic books are hard to read for new readers, followed by a discussion on Comic Reading Rituals and why collecting comics is important to us. It was a good week.

Hosts Nick, Brian, and Jon disregard their holy overlord Mike to record a secret podcast (not really). They chat their current comic reads and their comic picks for this week (Runaways #4, We Are Robin #4, Mythic #4, Book of Death #3)–even though Jon didn’t really have a pick. Stretching into the discussion territory, the gang chats about how we, as readers, deal with comic creators who are jerks? They move on to discussing DC’s “un-cancelling” of Omega Men then wrap up with a discussion about books coming back from the dead (ie. Bedlam, maybe).]]>I Read Comic Booksyes1:05:3832Episode 37 | Superhero movies make Mike tiredhttp://ircbpodcast.com/i-read-comic-books-episode-37-superhero-movies-make-mike-tired/

At one point, Nick, Paul, and Mike decided to talk about Transformers vs. GI Joe at length and store it away. It was this week that, despite having comic picks (Dead Drop #4, Superman #43, and Fall of Ninjak), they had nothing to talk about (except some lingering thoughts from last week). So, as a fix for this situation, they have pulled from the “vault” their talk on Transformers vs. GI Joe–if you’re not sick of them talking about it yet, you will be after this week.]]>Mike Rapinyes1:13:0236I Read Comic Books | Episode 33 | Language and Comicshttp://ircbpodcast.com/i-read-comic-books-episode-33-language-and-comics/
